*nods* mods are omniscient - it's why we're mods. actually, some of us are also omnipotent. well, i am, at least. the rest of them only strive to achieve.
*smiles* I know sprite, I have believed in you since the first words from you that I read (and that's true btw)

I do have to point out the one thing you are not privy to are the posts we had to modify or delete to lead up to the reminder. We strive to keep this site clean and leave no grey areas when it comes to anything underage. Should you require more explanation in regards to this I would suggest you use this link to find out more, privately.

First of all, I do appreciate the effort the team puts in maintaining this site and its standards. That however doesn't mean I have to agree with every decision. I think there is nothing in this discussion, that needs the shroud of privacy, so I would prefer to continue this in the forum.
Exactly to what am I not privy? If you read my post carefully, you'll find that I wrote "there are and were". I have read those posts you have deleted before you did so, and in all those posts I found exactly one sentence, that came close to breaking the rules. Even that sentence, the one that contained the word " sticky", did not describe any sexual act or even name it. It merely suggested an activity, one btw, that is common among adolescents boys of any age, and one that is openly discussed anywhere where sexual education is subject, including schoolclasses.
I agree, that describing a 14-year old performing that act in an erotic story would cross every line drawn. But this isn't a story, this is a forum thread, and not one about sex but about reading, actually, about an aspect of growing up.
As a comparison: how would you have responded, if the subject had been "How old were you when you became a parent" and someone answered 14? The implications of that simple statement go way beyond those of "sticky pages".
Last, but not least, even if the suggestion of an underage sexual act in this context was a violation, which it isn't in my humble opinion, you could have simply removed the offensive sentence or the age reference in stead of the entire reaction.

Underage is underage period. We had some posts mentioning ages that were completely unacceptable and I felt it was necessary to send out a friendly reminder.
I've carefully checked the rules, and I can only conclude that you are bending in stead of applying them.
The age limit is mentioned in two places:
1. The guidelines for submitting stories. They basically say, story characters must be 16 or older. There are and were however no stories in this thread, and as far as I've seen, no sexual acts either. Therefore this rule has no meaning here.
2. The forum guidelines. They literally say:
"I agree not to discuss or make mention of the subjects: , , sex with underage people (under 16), child abuse, dangerous sexual acts, drugging, suicide or , either in the forums, chat rooms, messaging, comment areas or in member profiles."
I fail to see, how mentioning I've read erotica or even porn and telling how that made me feel, constitutes a violation of this rule. Reading is not sex.

Quote by spriteI don't know any cops in Florida, or in America for that matter, but I believe you. They must be, if they can enforce laws that allow a 16 year old to carry a lethal weapon, but make a criminal out of an adult (because I think a 20 year old is an adult) who drinks a beer or smokes a joint.
cops in florida are total dicks. i was once pulled over near Miami for thinking about lighting up a joint when i got home.
